My kids and their friends loved these! They were actually easy enough that I let the kids make them themselves. Just adorable. Only thinkg is - not all kids like lemon cake, but you can substitute yellow cake mix.

I have not made these yet but I think they are adorable. I also think you could put a chocolate kiss in the middle and call it a sunflower. Love it!
